Ganesh Dash and Justin Paul authored an article titled “CB-SEM vs. PLS-SEM methods for research in social science and technological forecasting” in a special issue of Technological Forecasting and Social Change, co-edited by Justin Paul. Unfortunately, the article’s central conclusion – “CB or PLS or PLSc do not matter” – is misleading and at odds...

Confirmatory composite analysis (CCA) is a structural equation modeling (SEM) technique that specifies and assesses composite models. In a composite model, the construct emerges as a linear combination of observed variables. CCA was invented by Jörg Henseler and Theo K. Dijkstra in 2014, was subsequently fully elaborated by Schuberth et al. (2018),...

There are various techniques for separately analyzing moderation and mediation effects in partial least squares structural equation models (PLS-SEM). These individual techniques are rather straightforward and widely understood. However, valid approaches for testing more complex moderated mediation effects that are embedded together in a single mode...

Qualitative research is just as able as quantitative research to follow certain fundamental principles of logic in general and scientific reasoning in particular. Two such principles are the logic of modus ponens and the logic of modus tollens. In this essay, we frame different research approaches—positivist research, interpretive research, action...

Most computer applications feature visual user interfaces that assume that all users have equivalent propensities to perceive, interpret, and understand the multidimensional spatial properties and relationships of the objects presented. However, the hunter-gatherer theory (Silverman & Eals, 1992) suggests that there are modern-day differences betwe...

The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), a model of the user acceptance of IT, synthesizes elements from several prevailing user acceptance models. It has been credited with explaining a larger proportion of the variance of ‘intention to use’ and ‘usage behavior’ than do preceding models. However, it has not been validated in...

Cultural and globalization issues are known to affect the organizational use of information technology (IT). In particular, studies have indicated that a variety of cultural and globalization factors effect the organizational adoption and diffusion of IT. Among socio-cultural factors, the differing effects of gender, social norms, beliefs and value...

TAM specifies a pathway of technology acceptance, from external variables to beliefs, attitudes, and system usage. We tested one of its assumptions that the ‘perceived ease-of-use’ and ‘perceived usefulness’ constructs fully mediate the influence of external variables on usage behaviors. Using a survey of 125 employees of a U.S. Government agency w...
